'66 Slab P-Bass project update

Sign in to disble this ad
Posted the original thread here about two months ago, and I thought I'd add an update up on here. Decided to build another body, this time out of alder instead of ash, on account that the last one didn't come out to well, and weighed way too much.

Anyways, this time around I had some professional help with this build, the folks at the Charlton Custom Shop in Waterford, CT were fantastic. It came out great, and it's at the same shop getting finished in a satin white nitrocellulose lacquer.

Here's some pics of the bass before the finishing process had begun:




Here's a picture of my father spraying on the nitro sanding sealer:


I'll post more pictures as they come!

*bump*
update: The nitrocellulose lacquer is taking a while to dry, and it should be done this weekend! I will post pictures when I go back to the shop.
